Yo RC! Long time no eat. What’s up? I gotta tell you ’bout this place in our ’hood … and it’s good! It’s fallin’ off the bone yo. I’m talking Yo-Bones BBQ. Yes RC, this is exactly what this community needed, some good ol’ southern BBQ and I will be back there soon.

So listen up yo. You want and/or desperately need BBQ Pulled Pork or BBQ Beef Brisket by the half pound or pound; or BBQ Pork Back Ribs (four, six or a full rack of 12 bones)? Do you? Yo-Bones has got us covered, friends.

And for the sides, I’m talkin’ Yo-Bones Pit Beans, Red Potato Salad, Coleslaw, Cornbread, Mac & Cheese (those are all vegan by the way). Then you got your BBQ Meat Slider (pork, chicken or brisket) and BBQ Chicken Tacos. Also, for you twisted vegan types, the Black Bean Burger.

My two accomplices and I all highly enjoyed our dinner at Yo-Bones BBQ. It’s quite a small and charming little place over on Kingsway, just East of Tyne Street on the north side. This is one of those little hole-in-the-wall-type places that specialize in their food … in this case … Southern barbecue meat, sandwiches and sides that are to die for.

And, all at a relatively affordable price. The pound of BBQ Beef Brisket ($32), BBQ Chicken Tacos (2 pieces for $9), Yo-Bones Pit Beans ($4), Coleslaw ($4) and Cornbread (2 pieces for $2) was not only enough for us three that night, but we had enough brisket, beans and coleslaw left over for dinner the next night.

You know what that means: Yo-Bones BBQ scored very highly (and well) indeed on my patented Gourmet/Gourmand Scale of Goodness, which is Quality X Amount /(divided by) $ (price).

We have the owner, Rick Bone, to thank for all this goodness. Rick, in the catering/food business for more than 30 years, services an extensive range of clients, bringing excellent service and quality cuisine to stylish cocktail receptions, elegant weddings, distinctive corporate socials, important product launches, festive seasonal parties and vibrant galas.
